James Blackstone Memorial Library

Join us for a book launch and moderated discussion with local author Nadia Bowers for her upcoming memoir, Dear Dealer.
In
 the summer of 2015, Nadia Bowers’s beloved older sister, Sasha—a social
 worker and Ivy League grad—was found in her car in a restaurant parking
 lot in their hometown outside New Haven, CT, dead from a fentanyl 
overdose. In Dear Dealer, Bowers recounts how, plunged into 
grief, equipped with Sasha’s phone, and just weeks from giving birth to 
her first child, she began to investigate her sister’s shadow life: who 
sold Sasha the drugs that killed her? Did they know each other well? Did
 the dealer have any idea who Sasha was, outside of addiction? One part 
narrative, one part epistolary, Bowers interrogates her sister, her 
family, their history, and herself.&nbsp;
Expanding on her viral 2018 This American Life
 essay of the same name—a letter to this imagined dealer—Bowers’s memoir
 is a love letter, a diary, and a quest in search of the dealer’s 
identity, as well as her own. Who is she without her sister? Who is she 
because of her sister? And what now? Bowers reflects on her shifting 
roles as sister and mother, examining how this sudden loss has reshaped 
her sense of self. Her letters to the faceless dealer are interwoven 
with rage, reflection, and even moments of humor as she recounts their 
intertwined lives alongside memories of charismatic and complex Sasha.&nbsp;
As poetic as it is unflinchingly honest, Dear Dealer is a richly compelling account of one woman’s search for meaning, forgiveness, and hope in the aftermath of tragedy.
About the Author:
Nadia
 Bowers is an actor, writer, and voice-over artist. She has a BA in 
sociology and French from Dartmouth College and an MFA in acting from 
NYU’s Graduate Acting Program. Nadia works in theater, television, and 
film. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband, actor Corey

 (1957), an American anti-war film directed by Stanley Kubrick, from a 
screenplay he co-wrote with Calder Willingham and Jim Thompson, based on
 actual events. The film stars Kirk Douglas as a battlefield 
officer-lawyer defending three French soldiers unjustly accused of 
cowardice during World War I. It received critical acclaim and several 
international accolades, including a BAFTA Award nomination for Best 
Film, and is considered one of the greatest war films ever made. In

God of Carnage&nbsp;
by Yasmina Reza 
translated by Christopher Hampton 
Join us for a staged-reading of this razor-sharp internationally acclaimed, Tony Award and Olivier Award-winning comedy. &nbsp;When two sets of parents get together to discuss a fight their sons had in a park, civility swiftly descends into savage childishness.&nbsp;God of Carnage&nbsp;is witty, biting, with sparkling dialogue and keen observations about marriage, parenting, and human nature. This dark comedy adeptly illustrates how beneath every polished exterior lies the potential for complete mayhem.
This event is free and open to the public!

Tantien Integrative Medicine

Tantien Integrative Medicine is a specialized, physician-led practice located in Branford, Connecticut, dedicated to providing root-cause care, lifestyle and longevity medicine for adults across the Greater New Haven region and the Connecticut shoreline. Led by Dr. Laura Tavernier, MD, the practice offers a highly personalized approach by limiting its patient base to 100 individuals, ensuring that every client receives the dedicated time and attention required for complex health concerns. With 34 years of clinical experience, Dr. Tavernier is board-certified in integrative medicine and fellowship-trained at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. The practice specializes in managing chronic conditions such as Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, and brain fog. By utilizing advanced 3x4 Genetics testing, the team creates tailored treatment plans that address individual biological needs regarding inflammation, hormones, and stress, rather than relying on standardized, symptom-based prescriptions. Patients can expect a comprehensive 90-minute initial consultation designed to uncover the full history of their health rather than just a list of symptoms. This commitment to deep, individualized care ensures that every treatment plan is uniquely built for the patient's specific body, fostering a collaborative and thorough path toward improved wellness. At Tantien Integrative Medicine, I partner with somatic educator and Oxygen Advantage®–certified breathwork instructor Nicole Tavernier, creator of The Functional Living Method™ and the State Flexibility™ framework. Through The Functional Living Method™, Nicole offers somatic movement education, functional breath work, and nervous-system–focused support to help clients build regulation, resilience, and state flexibility — in person at our Branford office and virtually for clients worldwide.
